   Press Release         24 March 2020

    

                   Fuller, Smith & Turner PLC - Board Changes

                                        

   Fuller, Smith & Turner PLC, the premium pubs and hotels business, today
   announces that Robin Rowland has joined as an independent non-executive
   director with immediate effect.

    

   Robin Rowland is one of the hospitality sector's most respected characters
   and an experienced PLC director. He continues to be an active investor in
   hospitality companies and has previously held non-executive director
   positions with Caffè Nero, Tortilla and Marston's PLC. In 2016 he was
   awarded an OBE for Outstanding Services to Hospitality.

    

   Robin started his career in 1984 with Whitbread and went on to develop and
   lead a number of pub and restaurant brands with listed companies including
   Diageo, Scottish & Newcastle and The Restaurant Group.

    

   In 1999, he was appointed Chief Executive at YO! Sushi, which he took from
   a group of three restaurants to one with over 100 sites across the UK and
   the USA. He led several MBOs for the company and spearheaded the
   acquisition of Bento Sushi in North America.

    

   Robin said: "I have a very deep passion for the hospitality industry and
   the opportunity to play a role in the development of an industry icon,
   like Fuller's, is wonderful. The current Coronavirus pandemic has created
   an unprecedented set of challenges for the sector - but when this time is
   over, it is for companies to come back stronger, and I know Fuller's will
   be one of those."

    

   Chairman Michael Turner said: "Robin needs no introduction in our sector.
   He has oustanding industry experience and a true hospitality pedigree. I
   know he will be a real asset to our leadership team as we navigate our way
   out of the current situation and, as a seasoned non-executive director, he
   is a great addition to our Board. My fellow directors and I are really
   looking forward to working with him in the future."

    

   Robin Rowland was a director of Marston's PLC until 31 July 2019.  No
   other information is required to be disclosed pursuant to Listing Rule
   9.6.13R in relation to Robin Rowland's appointment as a non-executive of
   the Company.
